献给春天的诗Classic Poems for Spring

咏柳                            

碧玉妆成一树高，  
万条垂下绿丝绦。  
不知细叶谁裁出，  
二月春风似剪刀。 

The Willow
The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,
A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.
But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?
The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade.

春夜喜雨

好雨知时节， 
当春乃发生。 
随风潜入夜， 
润物细无声。 
野径云俱黑， 
江船火独明。 
晓看红湿处， 
花重锦官城。
Happy Rain on a Spring Night 
Good rain knows its time right; 
It will fall when comes spring. 
With wind it steals in night; 
Mute, it moistens each thing. 
O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; 
In boat a lantern looms. 
Dawn sees saturated reds; 
The town’s heavy with blooms.

绝句

两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，
一行白鹭上青天.
窗含西岭千秋雪，
门泊东吴万里船.
A Heptasyllabic-Quatrain
Two yellow orioles sing in the green willows; 
A flock of white egrets surge up the blue sky.
In my window is framed the snow-capped peak of Mount West. 
Close by my door are moored boats from faraway Wu. 
(Wu: Suzhou and surrounding areas in Jiangsu Province, which is thousands of miles away from Chengdu wher Du Fu lived.)

春晓

春眠不觉晓,
处处闻啼鸟.
夜来风雨声,
花落知多少.
Dawn in Spring 
Dawn was missed in a good sleep in spring；
Everywher I hear birds sing．
Overnight，the wind and rain clamored；
How many flowers down did they bring?

草

离离原上草， 
一岁一枯荣。
野火烧不尽， 
春风吹又生。
Grass
Boundless grasses over the plain 
Each year it turns yellow, then green. 
Wildfire never quite consumes them 
They are tall once more in the spring wind.
